Stuffed avocados are easily one of my favorite lunches. I make several variations and they are consistently some of the most popular recipes here on The Stay At Home Chef.  They are so easy to make, usually pretty healthy, and oh so delicious. You’ll love this easy, healthy lunch!

 

What kind of chicken should I use?

You can use canned chicken chunks in this recipe for convenience, shredded rotisserie chicken, or chopped leftover chicken. If you want a vegetarian option, feel free to leave the chicken out of this recipe.

 

Why is your balsamic so thick? How can I do that?

If you want a thicker balsamic vinegar you can buy balsamic glazes in squeeze bottles or thicken your own by boiling balsamic vinegar for a few minutes until it reduces and begins to thicken.
